Reid has already confirmed his return for the 2024 season, but if what he’s saying is true, it doesn’t sound like Reid has any interest in calling it quits any time soon. The league’s fourth-most winningest coach will be 66 at the start of next season, which will mark his 26th year as a head coach and 12th season with the Chiefs. His last losing season came in 2013 when he went 4-12 with the Eagles and was fired for his shortcomings. He’s averaged more than 10 wins a season during his time with the Chiefs and is in the midst of coaching a team that has entered the “dynasty” conversation.

Denver will be without Allen, though it might not matter much against an underwhelming Vegas offensive line. Dulcich has been a healthy scratch for over a month now, leaving Nate Adkins as the nominal TE1.

Alexander remains out indefinitely as he recovers from a torn PCL. Fortunately, Josh Jacobs (quad/calf) is active on the offensive side of the ball. He should be a featured member of the game plan as the Packers attempt to control possession time against their injury-weakened opponent. The Packers also declared S Kitan Oladapo, LB Edgerrin Cooper and OL Jacob Monk inactive.

Mattison and White being out means Ameer Abdullah will take over the Raiders’ lead back against Denver. Abdullah, who last week had a receiving touchdown, is a viable flex option in PPR formats. Dylan Laube will also mix in and take some of the team’s backfield work.

Fant continues to miss time due to a groin injury he suffered in Week 8. Expect A.J. Barner to be Seattle’s starting tight end. Also out is Laviska Shenault (oblique), likely making Kenny McIntosh the second kick returner for the Seahawks in Week 12.

Williams has failed to practice since the 49ers’ Week 9 bye and was clearly favoring one leg during Week 11’s pre-game warmups. Reports about his Week 12 availability varied as the week progressed but the 49ers ultimately decided to sit the talented veteran blocker. Backup OT Jaylon Moore will start in Williams’ stead. The 49ers also declared QB Brock Purdy, DE Nick Bosa, CB Charvarius Ward, WR Jacob Cowing, DT Kevin Givens and DT Khalil Davis inactive. George Kittle will play this week after sitting out Week 11 with a hamstring injury.

Robinson, the Cards’ first-rounder, continues to be out due to a calf injury. Jalen Thompson is out due to an ankle injury while the other inactives are healthy scratches for Arizona.

Sanders suffered a frightening head/neck injury late in the first half and was carted off the field. The rookie was reportedly taken straight to a nearby hospital, where he was to undergo testing and treatment for the neck injury. Sanders had three grabs for 49 yards before leaving the contest. Tommy Tremble will function as Carolina’s TE1 with Sanders sidelined.

Pitre initially was ruled questionable. He left in the second quarter without his helmet and was not spotted on the sidelines at the beginning of the second half. The Texans moved Jimmie Ward into the nickel safety spot.

Sanders caught a pass late in the second quarter and was flipped onto his head, with his neck bending in an awkward way. The rookie was in obvious pain and was carted off after receiving attention from both teams’ training staffs. Sanders had three catches for 49 yards before leaving the contest.

Walker Jr. was backpedaling into coverage, came up hobbling, and asked for a substitute. He walked off the field with tears in his eyes and immediately got hugs from his teammates, which is likely not a good sign for his return this week. Tyrel Dodson will replace him in the starting lineup, but it could be a big loss for Miami over the middle of the field.
